Stu Keroff has spent the last nine years leading FOSS clubs in Minnesota schools, teaching kids to install, configure, and use open source software. Since almost all of this work is done on used computers, these clubs provide an inexpensive way to teach kids tech skills, provide needed tech at school and at home, and keep computers out of landfills. And the kids are having fun, too! Come hear Stu and a few of his students tell their story about how they changed their school with open source software!

Drupal is a powerful tool for creating and managing structured content, which can result in an overwhelming admin experience for someone who isn’t well-versed in Drupal terminology or UI conventions. Fortunately, Drupal is extremely flexible and extendable, which allows us, as builders, to create a sensible, focused experience for content admins.

Under-resourced communities and communities of color disproportionately bear the burden of environmental injustice and climate change. Including the voices of communities on the front lines of these issues are key to creating equitable and lasting solutions. This principle extends to creating digital products that are part of the solutions.

Building such a platform that can be flexible enough to handle the unique needs of each individual site while also being maintainable requires careful consideration, and I hope we can all benefit from our shared experiences.

Site builders have heard the story a hundred times: “Our website is too inflexible. We do not want to rely on a developer every time we need to create a new landing page.”  As Drupal developers, we proudly proclaim, “We have a module for that!” (and it’s true). The challenge, however, is that now we must choose from a myriad of ever-evolving tools. We have Layout builder in Drupal core. Acquia recently acquired a layout tool called Cohesion DX8 that is grabbing attention. The Paragraphs module is a favorite, and don't forget Panels and Blocks & many other tools that have been around for years. We'll walk you through the choices.
